Kess Them All! (yes that is a Metallica reference)

This is quickly becoming my favorite deck. Very fast and combocentric. If you like being the center of attention at your table this is the deck for you. Fortunately there are several ways around all the hate that will fall upon you. Essentially this is a full on competitive combo deck. The only problem is very early in the game EVERYONE will know it, so make sure to have an answer in your hand or set up some control before going off.

Combo-Chaos:

-Of course there is the obvious wincon of Demonic Consultation + Laboratory Maniac along with a draw outlet, Gitaxian Probe is a good example. (Laboratory Maniac + Tainted Pact also works in place of Demonic Consultation) Simply have Lab man on the battlefield, cast Demonic Consultation (name a card not in your deck) which will exile your entire library, and finally draw a card for the win.

-Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter Yes the Dramatic-Scepter combo is a must in this deck, just watching everyone squirm when it's placed is priceless. Considering the number of mana rocks infinite mana is very easy to accomplish with this combo. With infinite mana in place it inevitably leads to the next wincon with Torment of Hailfire .

- Paradox Engine is an alternate way to run the Dramatic-Scepter engine.

- Doomsday is another wincon. (I won't go into the specific pile set up as there are numerous options to make it work)

Just to be mean:

-With the Dramatic-Scepter combo combined with a couple rocks + Sensei's Divining Top you can out draw your deck.

-It's always nasty to throw down a Copy Artifact of Isochron Scepter imprinting a Mana Drain or even a Cyclonic Rift to really piss everyone off.

- Notion Thief and a wheel will draw you a bunch of cards, and of course piss off everyone else as they don't draw any...

Please let me know if anyone has suggestions or comments of any kind, and thank you very much a head of time!
